The children enjoyed it and was fascinated to see an original Gable roof structure from the 1800. I have been...

I had a family membership with kids ages 5 and 3 this past year. We visited the museum many times and while it helped find us something to do during the winter months, I would rate this as average for a children's museum in a small city such as Dover.
